In honor of pemasu, the Puppy Package Manager puppy-lucid repo now includes F-Prot-6-Lucid, a well-respected command line virus scanner.

I am honored and grateful. Thank you playdayz !!!

Launch from /opt/f-prot/install-f-prot.pl (in terminal) and it makes symlinks to use it from terminal straight.
Works fine. Even better from commandline than using XF-Prot GUI. Use it to check viruses and trojans in windows files.

Usage: fpscan --disinfect (--deleteall) /mnt/sd**. Use --deleteall with care and it needs --disinfect option also with it. Fpscan -h for more options and description.

Updating virus definition database: /opt/f-prot/fpupdate. It makes also entry to crontab to update periodically every 25 minutes if there is something to update.

1. Recommends wrong video driver for my card(Nvidia NV37GL Quadro PCI-E). Recommends xorg_high. Should be a Nvidia driver. The Nvidia 173 one works for me.

2. If select change resolution. The info screen, that comes up after selecting the resolution, does not stay up long enough to read and make a selection as to what to do. About the time you read it and think, it is gone. (should stay until you select something)

Also when selecting the second button "Connect to the Internet"
It works ok in setting up connection, but does not do anything about a firewall. Does not set one up or warn that you need too.

1. That is the colored screen with Permanent and session in the lower left?

2. If you establish a wireless connection, then Simple Network Setup offers to install the Firewall but not for an ethernet connection.--that was Barry's choice.

Hi all,
First thank you mick01 for the delta file.
Next the ongoing saga of the Huawei E169G 3G modem.
Installed lupu-511 to a dongle then inserted the E169G, and went through the usual set up routine and again failed as for luci-222. I looked at the installed modules and noted that the option module was not loaded. Ran "modprobe option" and then ran the set up wizard again and all worked. Posting this now from lupu-511.
Cheers

I seem to have lost my last post somewhere. Well, I got turned around somewhere here, wasn't there a very long 200+ post list for the RC? At any rate I can't find that. Moving on...

I downloaded the RC using a link in that post. The live CD won't boot on my IBM 380 XD. I get an "uncompression" error. I had the same error with 2.1.4X by the way and here's what I did.

So, the workaround was to create a new folder puppy511 along side of my existing puppy431 installation. I copied the relevant files from the CD and the existing ATAHD file from the 431 installation. I manually edited the grub menu list copied the grub entry for 431 and changed all the references to 511.

On rebooting, and choosing my new 511 Frugal entry it booted nicely. However I did run into problems with the wireless.

I have a Dlink 802.11g USB device and an older pcmcia card rtl8180l. (no I'm not using both at the same time) To make a long story short the 98/xp era inf file I'd been using in 431 to run the Dlink isn't accepted. I got some kind of superseded modprobe error. I tried the old wireless tool as well but it just hangs. FUBAR! That was a showstopper. However, I rebooted to start over and the new wireless connection tool did find the old 802.11b rtl8180l just fine. I was able to get a connection with that very easily. There are far less hoops to jump through with the new wireless tool so I was very impressed with it, rating it three out of four stars for ease of use.

Impressions so far, I like quickpet. I added Opera, Inkscape, Gimp, Cinelerra, and PDFedit all very easily and quickly. So, I'm impressed with that tool.

I'll use 511rc for a bit and let you know how it goes. Overall, a very nice effort by everyone.

My only real question, is there any real difference between the RC and the current version? I just want to know if I should immediately upgrade.
